umbertino Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Was lucky enough to see her in concert twice here in Italy....And then she also died in my Country unfortunately right after holding a concert against racism in the South near Naples... She used to be an active anti-apartheid advocate in the years apartheid was institutionalized in S.Africa Thanks for your talent and strength, Mama Africa...You won't be forgotten....RIP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miriam_Makeba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbertino Posted December 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 The second time I saw her here in my hometown, I was with my GF ( then wife....Rebecca-RIP) from Zimbabwe ( fmr. Rhodesia, bordering with S.Africa) which had shared for many years the same terrible situation of institutionalized apartheid for people of color just like South Africa or even worse ( my at the time GF /wife's dad was a guerrilla then to join the new Zimbabwe army after the Revolution victory in 1979)....So when we saw Miriam here in Trento, my GF broke into tears...A lot of tears ....Understandably so......
